The place

Villa Floriana is a beautiful villa built as a vacation home. It features terraces facing the sun and the wide scenery of the valley and the hills. It is at about 400 meters (about 1,312 feet) of altitude in a prominent position on the slope of a hill overlooking the valley of Valdinievole, formed by the river Arno. The villa is in the middle of a small “fraction-town” of San Baronto. You will have restaurants and shops at just a few steps away.

You will be on the hills of Montalbano, not far from the sea. Only 40 km (about 25 miles) away, you will find the small town of Viareggio, famous for its splendid beaches. The scenery around the villa is one rich in hills, with vineyards covering the lower areas, olive groves on the slopes, and woods of chestnuts and oak trees on the top. The Chianti wine of Montalbano is produced in the area and there are several wine cellars around.

Amidst the green, you will see elegant villas and beautiful farms which offer hospitality to tourists: the area boasts many trails and cycling paths.

You will be close to Florence, Pisa, Lucca, Siena, and San Gimignano: you can even search for the cities or art of Tuscany and also its beautiful castles and historical hamlets on convenient daily visits or excursions.

The swimming pool

At Villa Floriana you will have a shared 12 x 6 meter (about 39 x 20 feet) swimming-pool available. The swimming-pool is placed in a terraced land on prominent position. It is framed by the woods on its background and by the valley right in front. Around the swimming-pool you will find a large sun-drenched area furnished with umbrellas and sun loungers.

The swimming pool is caressed by the sun from sunrise, above the hill, to sunset, over the valley. The swimming-pool is open from the first of May until the 30th of October.

On the terrace you will find a table with chairs reserved to you and your children’s plays: little tables, benches, and chairs for kids, see-saws, and small wooden toys. The terrace is partially shaded by a masonry cover, rendering it a perfect place for your children to play while you watch them even from inside the apartment. From the terrace you have direct access to the area where there is the swimming-pool by climbing an outdoor staircase of about 20 steps.

The living-room is furnished with a table with chairs, a double divan bed, a telephone, a satellite-dish TV, and a kitchenette. The kitchenette is equipped with a two-electric-burner stove and a fridge.
